Why a Booktrail?
2023: Dumped by Instagram post. Not a whiff of a social life. Can it get any worse?

What you need to know before your trail
After a string of failed relationships – romantic and platonic – Lea’s had enough of watching life happen without her. When she bumps into Shep, a comedian at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in need of accommodation, it feels like destiny. And voilá – Lea now has a lodger and some company.
The two get on like a flat on fire, and Lea can’t resist falling for outgoing Shep. But she knows it’s a mistake that will cost her heart – he’s just another guy passing through, after all. And with Shep’s stand up routine edging him closer to his big break, there’s no way he’ll stick around.
Love is no laughing matter as the Fringe draws to a close. Can Lea find the confidence to step up and confess her feelings to Shep? Will he want to stay?

Edinburgh
Nina says:
The places around Edinburgh that appear in the book were partly dictated by the festival focus and partly chosen by me to give my readers an immersive experience of the city. The Old Town (the High Street, Canongate, the Grassmarket, George IV Bridge, etc) and the buzzing festival venues of Bristo Square, George Square Gardens, and latterly, the Pleasance Courtyard, take centre stage.
It was also important to me that Lea, my main character, lived right on the edge of all this excitable hustle and bustle. This was to show the stark contrast between the emptiness or her life socially, while she felt like everyone else in the world was out having fun right on her doorstep.
